Patient participation is essential to healthcare but there is still much to learn about how people develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to participate effectively in their care.
The Patient Better Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing this understanding through research, measurement, and collaboration. We work with researchers, healthcare professionals, institutions, and funders to study how patient participation can be defined, measured, strengthened, and applied across healthcare.
How We Work
We Build Research Partnerships
The Patient Better Project connects with researchers, healthcare professionals, academic institutions, healthcare organizations, and funders who want to investigate patient participation in real-world healthcare settings.
We collaborate to develop research questions, identify opportunities for study, test and evaluate approaches to patient participation, and build the evidence needed to better understand how patients prepare, communicate, navigate, and follow through with their care.
Whether you want to conduct a study, explore a pilot, validate a measurement approach, or fund research, we want to hear from you.
